Utah Trip October 2012

In October my cousins on my mother's side (there are 9 girl cousins) had planned a cousin reunion. We found out after I bought my plane ticket that Jono would start working in Michigan before then.
So we got everything packed and shipped off and Jono flew back on October 11 while Will and I stayed behind.
We flew up to Utah on Thursday, October 18th and my old roommate, Christina picked us up from the airport. We stayed with her a few nights and had fun carving pumpkins, wedding planning and hanging out with her family.

Then we traveled up to Lehi to stay with my sister-in-law, Sarah, and her family for a few days.
We visited a pumpkin patch and relaxed around the house while the kids played.

Then we drove up to Ogden to stay with my sister, Danielle, for the reunion. One by one family members started trickling in and it was so fun to see everyone again.
Unfortunately we didn't take many pictures, but we visited the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point, cooked and ate a "Grandma Alda" Thanksgiving dinner with the entire family, enjoyed a "girls only" cousin dinner at Macaroni Grill, and a birthday party.

Thursday, October 25 was the first snowfall. 
Jaxson and Connor loved playing outside and making footprints in the snow.



Will turned 1!

 He actually took a bite of cupcake, but still wasn't a fan.


Friday, the 26th we went to the Dinosaur Museum and had the Thanksgiving dinner.
After we got all the kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes. 
(We were planning on going to Trunk-or-Treat, but it was way to cold outside so we stayed in)
Will was the dinosaur, Rex, to follow the cousin Toy Story theme.
(He had literally just woken up from a nap and I changed him into his costume. He wasn't very happy.)

Kind of smiling

There it is!

On Saturday, we had a combined birthday party with my nephew, Connor, whose birthday is 2 days before Will's.
We got all the families together and celebrated at Chuck E Cheese.

And ended the trip with cousin bath time

Such a fun trip and I loved seeing everyone before we flew back to Michigan!
